1999 Honda ST1100
Water-cooled V4
Shared engine/trans. oil, wet clutch
Comments:
Shell Rotella 5W40 oil the CI-4 version
Bosch automotive oil filter
FP3000 and Redline Lead Substitute in the gas.
I'm not too worried about the Sodium, it is not coolant. I am using Redline Lead Substitute
in the fuel to help protect the valves and it is Sodium-based. I have used it before and it
shows up in the oil tests.
This oil has been in the bike a little longer than normal.
